Abstract: A detailed description is given of a method for obtaining numerical solutions to nonsteady incompressible fluid flow problems. Included are discussions of stability properties of the finite difference equations, and boundary and initial conditions appropriate to current applications of the numerical program. Solutions are given for flows about obstacles in a channel at various Reynolds members, with emphasis given to the process of development of the Karman vortex street.
